Mason Taylor watched his father finish up a Hall of Fame career with wide eyes and football dreams of his own.

Now, the son of Jason Taylor is a member of the New York Jets — a second-round draft pick from LSU with famous bloodlines and an opportunity to make an immediate impact in the NFL.

With a chance to step out of one big shadow.

“There’s high expectations, for sure, just because of the last name,” Mason Taylor acknowledged after the Jets' first practice of rookie minicamp Friday.
